I'm going to assume that you don't know much about computers...and so I'll be nice & explain this one more time (even though it's already been said multiple times in this thread).

The G4 cpu in a Powerbook G4 is NOT a hyper-threading processor. A G4 cpu is a "single core" processor. Core 2 Duo cpu's...like in older MacBooks & MacBook Pro's...are like having 2 cpu's. Core 2 Duo cpu's do not have hyperthreading either!:

Hyper-threading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hyper-threading is found in Xeon cpu's (like in Mac Pro desktop computers)...and the new Intel i3, i5, and i7 cpu's.

You're wrong. According to my research they are hyper threaded. After i purchase it I'm going to install an i7 in there.

Yeah...good luck with that!

If you continue with this sort of "banter"...the thread will be closed!

No, no one here is wrong. Sorry. Do not insult the members or staff here please.

May I ask you this? Are you a troll or serious?
